A US military C-17 transport aircraft that usually carries at least 100 troops flew to Geneva Airport to pick up Secretary of State John Kerry and fly him to Boston where he'll be treated for a broken leg.

The Air Force plane touched down in Switzerland on Monday after taking off from a US base in Ramstein, Germany, and then heading to Massachusetts after collecting the 71-year-old politician.

Kerry tweeted out 'big thanks' to his well-wishers and said he looked forward to getting his leg set and getting back to work at the State Department.

They can't set a broken leg in Geneva Switzerland?

I thought USA horrible evil country. Doctors would rather cut off a leg than fix a broken one. Isn't that what obama said in 08 when he was pushing deathcare?

I think it's time that this horse is put out to pasture.

Of course they can. Kerry's ego, however requires heavy lifting. I'm surprised they didn't need a C-5.

I guess one of his wife's Gulfstreams was not available for the trip.

WHERE IS THIS MAN'S PURPLE HEART!!??!! John Kerry again has sacrificed for his country and I'm tired of the govt dragging their feet on this! This man is a hero's hero for the ages and all mankind, and he deserves recognition for it!

Actually, with horses with broken legs, you shoot them.

That's true!  It's the merciful thing to do to the old hag.

A C-17?  The State Department has a fleet of long range Gulfstreams and Bombardier Global Express business jets that would suffice on a Geneva-DCA trip.   

Apparently it requires a heavy lift USAF cargo jet to haul Lurch's massive ego.

The abuses are beyond obscene and nobody misses a beat
